Yazidi Activist and Survivor of ISIS Captivity

Yazidi Activist and Survivor of ISIS Captivity Nadia Murad: Yazidis Will Not Return to Sinjar without International Protection

Yazidi
activist Nadia Murad, who survived ISIS captivity, said in an interview
with the Al-Arabiya network that the Yazidis will not return to Sinjar
even if it is fully liberated unless the Yazidi genocide receive
international recognition and the Yazidis are awarded international
protection. Murad said that the Yazidis have lost trust in the
Peshmarga, which failed to protect them, as well as in their Arab-Muslim
neighbors, many of whom, she said, joined ISIS in persecuting the
Yazidis.
